Over the summer I went to a BBQ and took a couple of salads, one of which was orzo. I\u2019ve since been asked a few times for the recipe (and the kids really love it) so I thought I\u2019d quickly share it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Orzo is a durum wheat pasta<\/a> but looks like large grains of rice. It really lends itself to salads. I always cook pasta al dente<\/a>, but for this dish it\u2019s particularly important not to overcook the pasta or it will be mushy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This dish is a great accompaniment to BBQ food and we particularly like it served with lamb and halloumi kebabs. Some of the marinade in the below recipe is for the salad and the rest is to pour over the lamb pieces for the kebabs. If you don’t fancy the lamb, the marinade keeps well in the fridge for quite a while. <\/p>\n\n\n
